ing at ten o'clock on the subject of

thinks it would be better to use what
women of Kansas now have.

Then said: sGrandpa, the sunlight that steals
through yon thick bough
Makes the hair look just like silver threads snab
His mind began to wander back to the by-gone
And be said. ooh, Willie, it's strangely queer
that things do change SO fast!
SITS forty years or more. guess. since this
tree was planted here;
twas but tender sapling then. but now II
IT'S growing still, ard healthy yet, its leaves
are green and fair.
But ali, alas times silvery frosts have pow

I saw a teardrop slowly steal down yrandpa's

He leaned his head upon his cane, and then he
ceased to speak.
I left him then to mediate, in the sunlight

Upon the past and things so changed since he

Above give rough sketch of my house.
OF course, I have idealized it somewhat,
but only in order to please the eye of the
keenly ebservant reader. The front part
of the house runs back to the time of Pol
ypus the First, while the L, which does
not show in the drawing, runs back as far
as the cistern.
In closing, let me say that am not find
ing fault with any one because the above
error has crept into the public prints, for it
is really a pardonable error, after all.
Neither do wish to be considered as striv-
ing to eliminate my name from the columns
of the press, for no one could be more
tickled than am over friendly notice of
my arrival in town or timely reference to
my courteous bearing and youthful appear
ance, but l want to Soc the Oliver Wendell
Holmes Hospital succeed, and so come
out in this way over my own signature and
admit that the building does not belong to
me, and that, SO far as / am concerned,
the man who files . lien on it viii simply
fritter away his time.

The FuvOrite Basque.

The basque with a long point in front,
short on the hips, and having q narrow
plated position that sits up we'll in the
back, is still the favorite style, as it is
also an almost universally becoming
one. In the newest models no darts
appear on the outside; they are made
in the lining, however, in the usual
way, and the pliable outer material is
stretched and nodded to the figure over
the fitted lining, which gives bias eff
feet to the lower parts of the fronts that
is strikingly noticeable when the goods
are striped or plaided, as so many of
them are this season. Waists are made
as long as the figure will permit, and
are thoroughly boned SO that even q
suggestion of wrinkle is avoided.

transparent I could see samples of the
cooks hair curled up in the bottom OF
the cup"
"And you couldn't tell the difference
between the butter and sweet oil?"

Lie

Life consists not in the abundance Of
things that we possess, but in the good
and honest work that we do. Let NJ
VOW that we will live, not to lade our
souls with the thick clay Of earthly
riches-not to daub our lives with the
untempered mortar of human praise
not to waste our labors on those gains
OF the wilderness which can neither
satisfy the souls hunger nor quench in
thirst. but for what is best and greatest.

The description which accomp mics the
cut: among other things, goes on TO state
as follows: "The structure is elaborate,
massive, and beautiful. It consists of
three stories, basement, and attic, and COW
ers large area on the ground. It con-
tains an elevator, electric bells. steam
heating arrangements, baths, hot and cold,
in every room; electric lights, laundry,
fire. escapes, etc. The grounds consist Of
at least five acres, overlooking the river for
several miles up and down, with fine boat
ing and private fsh-pond, two acres in
extent, containing every known variety of
game fish. The grounds are finely laid out
in handsome drives and walks, and when
finished the establishment will be one of
the most complete and beautiful in the
Northwest"
No one realizes more fully than I the
great power of the press for good or evil.
Rightly used, the newspaper can make or
nnmake men. and wrongly used it can be
even more sinister. I might say, knowing
this as do, want to be placed right be-
fore the people. The above is not cor
rect illustration or description Of my house,
for several reasons. In the first place, it
is larger and more robust in appearance,
and, IN the second place, it has not the
same tout ensemble as my residence. My
house is less obtrusive and less arrogant
in its demeanor than the foregoing, and it
has no elevator in it.
My house is not the kind that seems to
crave an elevator. An elevator in my house
would lose money. There is no popular
clamor for one, and if were to put one in
I would have to abolish the dining room.
It would also interfere with the parlor.
I have learned recently that the CORE.
spondent who came here to write up this
matter visited the town while was in the
South, and as he could not find me he was
at the mercy of strangers. A young man
who lives here and who is just in the hey
day Of life gleefully consented to show the
correspondent my new residence, not yet
completed. So they went over and exam
ined the new Oliver Wendell Holmes
Hospital, which will be completed in June,
and which is, of course, handsome
structure, but quite different from my
house in many particulars.
For instance, my residence is Of differ
ent school Of architecture. being rather on
the Scandinavian order, while the forego-
ing has tendency toward the 1ronic. The
hospital belongs to a very recent school, as
chitectural methods and conception, goes
back to the time Of the mound builders, q
time when Gothic hole in the ground was
considered the magnum bohum and the
scrumptuous thing in art. If the reader
will go around behind the above building
and notice it carefully on the east side, he
will not discover dried coonskin nailed to
the rear breadths of the wood-shed. That
alone ought to convince an observing man
that the house is not mine. The coonskin
regardant will always be found emblazoned
on my arms, together with blue goddess
Of Liberty and my name in green India

FATAL FIRE AT ureNET.
Goodwin q Co.'s Factory Destroyed by
Firo aud Two Men Perish in the


Flames.
Tho burning OF Goodwin & Co.'S fac
tory and saw mill on Thursday night
last was the snddest affair that ever oc-
CURED in this vicinity. The frame of
the old Yeaman mill was utilized in
building this factory. The first floor
was used as planning mill. The second
as n clothes rack factory. The third
was used as an office where four men
slept who were engaged in drilling on
wells.
On the southwest was the saw mill.
On the southeast the Excelsior factory
and n chop feed mill. Over this mill
Ave men slept and when the fire awoke
them they ran to the south side Of the
room and opened door when the
flames burst into the room and they
were compelled to retreat They then
knocked out window when cloud
of dense smoke engulphed them, when
they rushed to the south side of the
building, opened another door and
jumped for their lives. Fortunately
none were injured.
The other foru sleeping in the office
were not awakened or aroused until the
building was well nigh consumed by the
fire. All succeeded in reaching the first
floor when one ran east and jumped to
the ground. The other three ran west
and the foremost made his escape, but
the other two men from some cause un-
known turned back and i'll a moment
after the floor gave way and they went
down in the burning mass and perished
in the flames.
The names af the two unfortunate
men were j. G. Mccall, Of Festoria, aged
S5, who leaves wife and family, and
VIM. Flaughner, of Sugar Grove, Pa,
aged 81 and unmarried.
The burned property was valued at
$4,000. The insurance was only $4,000,
and the loss falls heavily upon man
who can poorly afford to lose it.
